After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

"Your Highness." Mingyue carried the medicine bag and hurriedly walked to Chu Qinghuang and bowed her knees. "There is news from outside that King Jin has killed the princess."

King Jin killed the princess?

Chu Qinghuang's expression paused, and she subconsciously turned to look at Fucang beside her. Fucang lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, as if he had not heard Mingyue's words, and there was no expression fluctuation on his face.

"What's going on?" Chu Qinghuang looked away and looked at Mingyue.

Mingyue lowered her voice: "I heard that King Jin slept with the princess last night. When he got up early today, the princess was not around. King Jin was suspicious. Not long after he got up, he found that the princess was having an affair with someone. He drew his sword in anger. Kill both the princess and the man."

Chu Qinghuang: "..."

The arm of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was cut off last night, and he was found to have been cuckolded this morning. Two huge changes happened in just one night. I wonder if King Jin's heart can withstand such a great stimulation.

"I know." Chu Qinghuang glanced at the medicine bag in her hand, "Go and boil some medicine?"

"Yes." Mingyue nodded, "There are still two pills of medicine that His Highness brought back before. After drinking this pill, only one pill is left for the night. Do you want to continue taking it tomorrow?"

Chu Qinghuang said: "Continue, I will go to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine tonight."

"yes."

Mingyue resigned and left.

Chu Qinghuang walked towards the outside of the princess's residence and said as he walked, "Did you do it?"

"Princess Jin is the daughter of King Zhenbei. She and Chu Tianyin are in the same league." Fucang said, "If Chu Tianyin killed his own princess, King Zhenbei will not let him go."

Chu Tianyin wanted Chu Qinghuang to be assassinated in the Wen family and put the blame on Wen Xingyun, killing two birds with one stone, and Fucang killed two birds with one stone in return.

Chu Tianyin would not only become the laughing stock of the imperial city and be questioned by the emperor, but he would also turn against King Zhenbei and lose his support as his father-in-law who held military power.

Chu Qinghuang glanced at him and said, "You are not stupid."

Killing someone with a borrowed knife will turn them into enemies.

These scandals all occurred within the Jin Palace. Whether it was an affair or the murder of his wife, it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Put people to death without leaving any evidence.

This recruitment without bloodshed is really powerful.

Fucang remained silent.

Chu Qinghuang didn't think about the affairs of Prince Jin's palace anymore. Even though Chu Tianyin was out of control now and the palace was shrouded in gloom, it was none of her business at the moment.

Arriving at the gate of the Hong family, the guards guarding the Hong family's mansion saluted her. Chu Qinghuang walked into the gate and saw the shackled young and old Hong family. She said calmly: "Put Hong Shangshu in custody and take all the dirty silver." Lift it up and follow me into the palace to meet the saint."

"yes!"

Chu Qinghuang got on his horse, and hundreds of guards carried heavy wooden boxes toward the palace.

The atmosphere in this morning's court was very depressing, and there was an uneasy atmosphere permeating the hall.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the ministers with different expressions below, and smiled coldly, "Princess Xuan Chang!"

The eunuch shouted loudly: "Princess Xuan Chang comes to the palace——"

Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Qinghuang, dressed in a dark red dress, walked in calmly. Her figure was slender and majestic, and her eyebrows were indifferent. The girl who was only fifteen years old actually exuded a heart-stopping coercion from her body, which was different from the past. Their impression of Chu Qinghuang had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Behind her, the guards carried heavy boxes up to the hall.

The ministers watched in silence, some were surprised, some were shocked, and some were uneasy.

Are these all copied from Shangshu Mansion?

"This is the property that I took from the Hong family last night." Chu Qinghuang glanced slightly and said in a cold and ruthless voice, "My lords, you can take a good look at whether I have wronged him."

Hong Shangshu knelt in the hall, his face pale and decadent, and his eyes had lost their luster.

"The standard salary for a second-rank official in this dynasty is four hundred taels per year. In addition to diligent service awards, performance rewards, and additional rewards from the king...all wrapped together, Hong Shangshu should not be able to receive more than one thousand taels of silver per year." Chu Qinghuang's tone was cold and clear, "But excluding jade, silk, calligraphy and painting and other things that are temporarily difficult to value, these boxes contain as much as 700,000 taels of gold and silver, which is worth as much as Xiqi A state's tax money for one year. Those of you who want to plead for Hong Shangshu and accuse him of being wronged can first explain the origin of this huge amount of money."

All civil and military officials were silent, and no one dared to intercede for Hong Shangshu at this time.

Even though many people already hated Chu Qinghuang, and some were trembling in fear, facing the boxes of irrefutable evidence placed in the main hall, they couldn't even express the reason of "framing the blame."

If an account book can be framed and a letter can be framed, but with so much money, boxes of gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings all found from the Hong family, how can they frame it?

Who has such a great ability to put so many things into the Hong family without anyone noticing?

"Hong Chenghai." The emperor's tone was cold and angry, "What do you have to say?"

"I...is guilty, I am innocent...I have nothing to say, please...please, Your Majesty..."

"Since you have nothing to say, you don't need to beg me." The emperor's brows were filled with murderous intent, "Here comes someone! Put Hong Shangshu's family on death row and behead him in the future!"

Hong Shangshu's vision went dark, and his limp body was escorted out without any resistance. He didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.

There was a deathly silence in the main hall.

"Eight hundred thousand taels." The emperor sneered, "This is an eye-opener for me."

The ministers knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty!"

The emperor took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, and said coldly: "I have given Qinghuang full power to investigate and deal with corrupt officials. No matter who is investigated next, others are not allowed to obstruct it, otherwise they will be punished with the same crime!"

The officials were startled and felt increasingly uneasy.

"Where is the third prince?" The emperor searched around among the princes, but did not see Chu Tianyin. "He didn't come to court today?"

"Report to the Emperor." The personal eunuch turned around and lowered his voice, "Something happened in Prince Jin's Mansion..."

Seeing his hesitant speech, the emperor frowned and said, "What happened?"

Is it possible that he was frightened by Hong Shangshu's corruption and did not dare to come?

"Prince Jin...Prince Jin killed the princess."

What?

The emperor's expression suddenly changed, he was frightened and angry: "What's going on?"

The ministers thumped and looked up at the emperor uneasily. What's going on? What did Eunuch Chen say that made the emperor so angry?

"I got up early today and probably heard something about the situation." Chu Qinghuang said indifferently, "After King Jin got up in the morning, he found that the princess had done something he shouldn't have done. He accidentally killed the princess in anger. I have important matters to attend to, and I haven’t yet found out what’s going on.”

As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

King Jin accidentally killed the princess?

Princess Qi is the daughter of King Zhenbei!
